85-5-102 . Appointment of chief commissioner. When the judge of the district court appoints two or more commissioners to admeasure and distribute the waters mentioned in 85-5-101 , the judge may appoint one of them as chief commissioner and empower the chief commissioner to exercise direction and control over the other commissioners in the discharge of their duties. The judge may depose the person appointed as chief commissioner from that position and appoint another as chief commissioner whenever it appears to the judge that better service may be given to the water users by making the change.
